Rachel Marie Blum is assistant professor of political science at Miami University of Ohio.
“Blum documents the history of the Tea Party with a diversity of
evidence and methodological virtuosity. She argues that the Tea
Party’s presence within the Republican Party is, essentially, a
‘party within a party,’ a new way of thinking about ‘intraparty
mobilization’ as a strategy undertaken by movements. How the Tea
Party Captured the GOP enjoys the properties of a must-read work
for those who care about the future of the Republican Party—indeed,
for those who care about the future of the country.”
*Christopher Sebastian Parker, University of Washington*
“For all the talk of polarization, we know less than we should
about the pressures pushing parties away from the median, which
makes this book particularly welcome. As Blum traces the relation
between the Tea Party and the Republican Party that the insurgency
sought, with great success, to push rightwards, she brings
impressive evidence to bear, including long-form interviews with
Tea Party activists, network analysis, and use of
text-as-data.”
*Daniel Schlozman, Johns Hopkins University*
